20 years from now, if those young people are less dogmatic than the previous generation, they'll be turning against the kind of thinking that empowered Trump. That's an improvement, isn't it?
Absolutely it is. But I think it would be more of an improvement if churches could grow the fuck up and tell the younger members of their flocks, ‘This Trump guy? NOT what Jesus had in mind.’ That way, you’d still get more progressive young people, but you’d also get more progressive churches. Everybody wins.
